Hu Yuancai immediately said: "What's so difficult about this, the rations of the natives are reduced by 30%, and the old and weak women and children are reduced by 40%, which is enough to feed 2,000 people." ”

"No." Lin Yaocen also shook his head, "You are tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs." We are now about to show the grace of the natives, so that other natives will come to vote. You don't have enough to eat, and if you don't spend more than a month, there will be unbearable toiling natives who will flee or even mutiny!

"In my opinion, not only can we not reduce the rations, but we also have to pay some wages to these natives."

Zhao Weisheng said: "My lord, the fastest way at the moment is to make people reclaim the famine, plant potatoes and sweet potatoes widely, and continue to expand the camp while waiting for a bumper grain harvest in half a year, not to mention 2,000 people, even if it is doubled, it can be raised." ”

"That seems to be the only way to it." Lin Yaocen said, "It's just that we have to prevent the indigenous tribes with malicious intentions from destroying it, so we need to discuss it carefully......

That night, Lord Lin, Lord Zhao, Shopkeeper Hu and the steward of Xiao Quanzhou gathered around the bonfire, eating mango brown rice with roast kangaroo meat, watching the aborigines sing and dancing, while discussing the construction of Australian settlements, which is also very interesting.

In a grove of trees three miles away from Xiaoquanzhou, seven or eight curly-haired Australian aborigines with naked fruits, ropes wrapped around their waists, and totems on their faces, holding short spears in their hands, crouched under the trees, but their eyes were firmly fixed on a mound more than a hundred steps away from them.

"Red Snake Fang," spoke a stout woman with a boomerang and a stone knife on her waist, "how many people have come from the Belun tribe?" ”

The man named Red Snake Fang was a swarthy young man with muscles covered in muscles, who seemed to have just returned from the mound opposite, and gasped, "At least two hundred warriors. ”

"It seems that they are quite determined." The woman said, "Do you see the spear?" ”

"See, his two sons are too."

"Good!" The woman's face showed hatred, "The Winged Spear has suspended its attack on our tribe and has come to attack the 'boat man', this is the only chance for our tribe!"

"Follow me later, even if you fight hard, you must kill the Winged Spear! Our tribe will not be able to withstand the next round of attack on the festival of Belun. ”

Several others said together: "Killing Wing Spear!" Blessed by the god of luxury! ”

A stout woman in a straw skirt next to her asked the leader, "Linghua, why do you say that the winged spear is coming to attack the 'boat man'?" They just live in the colonies of the 'losers', and they don't compete with other tribes for prey, they just dig all day long......"

Thorn Linghua said coldly: "The greedy snake god has entangled the heart of the Winged Spear, he coveted the weapon of the 'boat man' containing magical power, and did not want to exchange it for slaves or animal skins, so he brought the warriors of the tribe to rob the 'boat man'. ”

It turned out that the "boat people" in their mouths referred to the Ming overseas expeditions, because the expedition team often had sea boats docking, and people entered and exited from the boats, so the natives called them "boat people".

However, the boatmen had many swords and spears with magical powers, and even a "blow arrow" that could be launched into the sky. Red Snake Fang said, "Can the Winged Spear really beat them?" ”

Australia had not yet invented bows and arrows at this time, but the Chinese held a special kind of "blow arrow". And made of stainless steel

"There were only seventy or eighty warriors in the boat." "And they still live in the place where the 'losers' lived, and they have been cursed by the withering god, and they will never win." I'm just worried that the boatmen won't be able to capture the attention of the Belon warriors, and we'll have no chance to do it. ”

Several people fell silent. In their hearts, the seventy or eighty weak shipmen warriors who wrapped their bodies in the cloth would surely be defeated by more than two hundred Bulundians if they were cursed.

"Ancestors, bless us...... someone removed the totem from his neck and began to pray.

After a while, the red snake tooth slapped the others excitedly, "The people of the Belon Festival have begun to move. ”

His eyesight was also excellent, and in the dark night without fire, he could see the situation more than a hundred steps away.

Thorn Linghua waved her hand vigorously, "Go!" ”

They walked a short distance behind the tribe of Belun when they saw the light of the torches of the boatmen's "village" in front of them. The warriors of the Belun Festival did not use torches, so they ran in the dark to the mound where Xiaoquanquan was located.

The red snake tooth squinted and searched for a long time, and finally pointed to a few eucalyptus trees and whispered, "The winged spear is there!" ”

"Hmph, this cowardly guy is really hiding behind the warriors of his own tribe." Thorn Linghua snorted disdainfully, "But it's convenient for us to do it!" Be careful to hide. ”

A few people answered, like cheetahs in the night, and lowered their bodies, silently attacking their enemies, where there were less than ten guards, and the possibility of success was extremely high!

At the same time, the people who rushed to the front of the Belunjie tribe had already reached the foot of Xiaoquanzhou and began to climb with their heads up.

“aoqikui？！” The wall on the periphery of Xiaoquanzhou let out a shout and asked, it was actually a native who lived here.

Receiving no response, he immediately threw a javelin under the wall, then turned back and shouted, "Birurrali! birurrali！ ”

Shopkeeper Hu ran out wearing a small coat, and when he heard this, his face changed, and he shouted around: "Enemy attack!" There is an enemy attack! ”

The Thorn Bell Flower could already see the back of the Winged Spear, and suddenly heard a low "whin" sound from the boatman's village, like a giant beast howling in the night.

Then, a radiant red "star" flew out of the boatman's village and soared into the sky, shaking people's eyes.

"Witchcraft?!"

Her heart jumped, and the next moment, the Belun warriors let out a cry of "kayia", no longer hiding their figures, and drew their weapons one after another, and flocked to the wall of the boatmen like a swarm of ants.

The boatman is finished. She was a little desolate, but she seized the opportunity to kill the Winged Spear, and that was enough!

Without warning, there was a great roar in the boatman's village, like a cumulonimbus cloud hovering there, releasing thunder!

With the glow of the fire, the warriors of the Belon tribe were still some way away from their target before they let out an inexplicable scream and tumbled down the mound.

Frightened, she hurriedly lay down in the grass, not daring to move, as did several of her companions, and some of them began to take out their totems and pray......
